Mediocrity Principle: The principle stating that at any given moment, any given workplace will be dominated by mediocrity.

Fermi Paradox: The paradoxical state, observed by Enrico Fermi, that a recurrence of excellence should be commonplace due to the shear number of people working on any given day; however, this isn’t observed.

Drake Equation: The mathematical equation M=mt. Derived from the Mediocrity Principle and the Fermi Paradox, it states that (m)ediocrity x (t)ime = (M)anagement position.
